Argentinian President Javier Milei announced intentions to remove femicide from the penal code, claiming it distorts equality principles. Justice Minister Mariano Cúneo Libarona reassured that the move aligns with constitutional equality. However, critics like Amnesty Argentina argue this change endangers women amid ongoing high femicide rates. In a recent speech at the World Economic Forum, Milei criticized radical feminism, asserting it leads to unequal legal treatment. The political shift raises alarms about a potential regression in the protection of women's rights in Argentina, especially as femicide rates remain persistent and troubling.
This administration defends equality before the law enshrined in our National Constitution. No life is worth more than another.
Eliminating femicide as a legal category would put women and girls at greater risk.
Radical feminism is a distortion of the concept of equality. We have even got to the point of normalising the fact that in many supposedly civilised countries, if you kill a woman, it is called femicide.
The sinister agenda of wokeism has distorted the perception of equality and the legal distinctions made for gender-based violence.
